No. The Israelites were (and are) Semitic.
The Torah speaks of three branches of post-Flood mankind: Yefet (Jafeth), Ham, and Shem (the three sons of Noah; Genesis ch.10).
The children of Yefet are (broadly speaking) the Europeans (Caucasians).
The children of Ham include the ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Nubians, Bantu (and sub-Saharan Africans in general), and many others.
The children of Shem include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, and other Semitic peoples. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Israelites, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others. See also:

∙ 8y agoNo. The Canaanites were descendants of Canaan, one of the sons of Ham (Genesis ch.10). The Jews are descendants of Shem (Genesis ch.11).
New Answer:
Yes the Jews are Canaanites from Judah and the Adullamite's daughter Bathshuah. Adullamites were Canaanites. See Genesis 38. Judah had three sons through Bathshuah - Er, Onan and Shelah. Er and Onan were struck down by The Lord for disobedience, but Shelah survived and married another Canaanitess - from this union came the Canaanite Jews. Canaanite Jews are Hamitic, not Semitic so therefore are not Israelites.
Judah also had twin sons from Tamar who was of Abraham's family - they were Pharez and Zarah. These sons were Israelite Judahites not Canaanite Jews. Pharez was the forefather of King David and Yashua Messiah plus British Royalty.

∙ 8y agoBiblical tradition says that the Canaanites were distinct from the Jewish and Israelite people. However, recent scholarship has established that the Hebrew people were not invaders but were actually rural Canaanites who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.
Thus, Jews are Canaanites, at least by descent, but not all Canaanites were Jews.
